"Never Going Back Again" is one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. You don't hear it often on the radio (even on SiriusXM), but it is a beautiful little song about moving on from a breakup.
This song was written by Lindsey Buckingham about his breakup with Stevie Nicks. It was on the Rumours album in 1977, and was also the B-side of the 45 "Don't Stop." I love the acoustic guitar work in this song, especially combined with such lovely, simple lyrics. In a review of Rumours for Rolling Stone, John Swenson wrote: "Never Going Back Again" is "the prettiest thing on [Rumours]." Do you remember this song? What are your favorites by Fleetwood Mac? I'd love to hear from you in the comments, below.
It's Music Monday! My song this week is "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac (1975). Stevie Nicks wrote this song when she was trying to decide whether to stay with the group or go back to school. I love the music and the lyrics, and it has been stuck in my head for the last day or two. Good songs have a way of doing that! By the way, I love the later covers of this song by the Dixie Chicks and the version performed on Glee (Naya Rivera) -- but nothing compares to the original for me.
